According to whowhatwear.com, "Not only does body positivity feel like it's on the rise with increased size representation in fashion... but there are also fashion insiders, like Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor. The DJ and model not only launches her debut swimwear [May 21st], but she's also not afraid to speak candidly about her own struggles with self acceptance, encouraging us all to be a part of the conversation."

Fans loved the photo and Teigen's afterbirth confidence. https://ift.tt/2IzKUMK http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com <div style="width: 480px; height: 270px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="okplayer" width="480" height="270" src="http://youtube.com/embed/wKjXWFmCugM" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 480px; height: 270px;" name="okplayer"></iframe></div></div> Star Political Newshttps://plus.google.com/103449131057337054320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780848449723732477.post-26502615293396421342018-05-21T14:08:00.001-04:002018-05-21T14:08:09.328-04:00The Obamas Are Partnering W/ Netflix<img src='https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K2D91o0arPE/maxresdefault.jpg' style='max-width:586px;' /><br /><div>Business Insider, "Former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to produce original shows and movies for the company." They plan on producing unscripted series, scripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and feature films. Former President Obama stated, "One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life...

Now a forensics company announced they will perform this analysis en masse, and the DNA database GEDmatch will allow police usage of their database. GEDmatch takes samples provided by police and processes the DNA much like 23andMe and Ancestry do. The results are then shared in the database, which is popular among people studying their family tree. Many are concerned about privacy violations. Even if you never agreed to put your DNA in a law enforcement database, snippets of it are probably already there thanks to third, fourth or even fifth cousins who had no idea their genealogy search file would ever be used this way. Other DNA databases are opening up their vaults to law enforcement and forensics companies as well. https://ift.tt/2GEg2J4 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com <div style="width: 480px; height: 270px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="okplayer" width="480" height="270" src="http://youtube.com/embed/ABY3smFgLts" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 480px; height: 270px;" name="okplayer"></iframe></div></div> Star Political Newshttps://plus.google.com/103449131057337054320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780848449723732477.post-1595987576671125822018-05-21T13:23:00.003-04:002018-05-21T13:23:20.897-04:00Advocacy Groups Want To Break Up Facebook<img src='https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XQfiU10M9Kg/maxresdefault.jpg' style='max-width:586px;' /><br /><div>According to gizmodo.com, "Privacy and anti-monopoly advocacy groups launched the Freedom from Facebook campaign on Monday, demanding that the Federal Trade Commission force the social media giant to break up into four separate companies." They want Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger to be four separate companies. They also want each company to make it a point to create "strong privacy rules that empower and protect" it's users. https://ift.tt/2KIxIG5 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com <div style="width: 480px; height: 270px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="okplayer" width="480" height="270" src="http://youtube.com/embed/XQfiU10M9Kg" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 480px; height: 270px;" name="okplayer"></iframe></div></div> Star Political Newshttps://plus.google.com/103449131057337054320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780848449723732477.post-7990212542052906252018-05-21T13:23:00.001-04:002018-05-21T13:23:18.813-04:00Alec & Hilaria Baldwin Reveal New Baby's Name<img src='https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rb_qP2RZQu4/maxresdefault.jpg' style='max-width:586px;' /><br /><div>Last week, Hilaria and husband Alec Baldwin announced the arrival of their fourth child.

The donated flowers, which adorned both St. George's Chapel and St. George's Hall in Windsor on Saturday, were designed by Philippa Craddock and a team of florists from Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. St Joseph's has a long history of royal connections, having been visited by Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana and, most recently, Prince Edward, who toured the grounds in 2015. The hospice's lead chaplain Father Peter-Michael Scott was warmed by the gesture. "It is about the energy of love. We are absolutely thrilled by the flowers and wish them (Harry and Meghan) all the best for the future.' Pauline Clayton, who worked for 50 hours on the train of the Queen's wedding dress at 19 years old... is now an 89-year-old patient and said she thought the gesture to donate the flowers was "lovely." https://ift.tt/2IYYFYI http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com <div style="width: 480px; height: 270px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="okplayer" width="480" height="270" src="http://youtube.com/embed/W1gY6YMeqaU" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 480px; height: 270px;" name="okplayer"></iframe></div></div> Star Political Newshttps://plus.google.com/103449131057337054320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780848449723732477.post-79810942818584716012018-05-21T12:43:00.001-04:002018-05-21T12:43:24.488-04:00Grandchildren of Women Prescribed A Now-Banned Pregnancy Drug Still Experiencing Affects Of Meds<img src='https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1SL4f_3rB3w/maxresdefault.jpg' style='max-width:586px;' /><br /><div>Diethylstilbestrol or DES was created to mimic natural hormones, including estrogen. Starting in the 1940s, it was prescribed to prevent miscarriages and other pregnancy complications. But a 1971 study confirmed that children of people who took DES while pregnant were more likely to develop rare genital cancers, infertility, genital defects, and mental health issues. These children became known as DES daughters and DES sons. It was later found DES increased the chances of DES daughters miscarrying if they became pregnant. Following publication of the 1971 study, DES was quickly taken off the shelves. In 1989, researchers studied 47,540 women and their combined 106,198 children via questionnaires mailed every two years. It showed mothers who took DES while pregnant were 36% more likely to have a child with ADHD. Other research shows DES has lasting negative brain impact and increases the chance of infertility in grandchildren. These studies confirm DES exposure can reach past one generation, affecting people decades after use. https://ift.tt/2IECh3D http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com <div style="width: 480px; height: 270px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="okplayer" width="480" height="270" src="http://youtube.com/embed/1SL4f_3rB3w" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 480px; height: 270px;" name="okplayer"></iframe></div></div> Star Political Newshttps://plus.google.com/103449131057337054320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780848449723732477.post-2541411394294498912018-05-21T12:38:00.001-04:002018-05-21T12:38:17.068-04:00'Clifford the Big Red Dog' Is Back with PBS and Amazon<img src='https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GCMU2-eirHo/maxresdefault.jpg' style='max-width:586px;' /><br /><div>Clifford the Big Red Dog is back and bigger than ever.

The new version, while still set on Birdwell Island, will feature new locations and new designs for Clifford and Emily Elizabeth, along with original songs and new characters. The rebooted show will also emphasize social-emotional skills such as empathy, along with a curriculum designed to boost early literacy and encourage imaginative play. The animated show produced by Scholastic Entertainment is currently in production for 39 episodes. https://ift.tt/2IyLn5P http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com <div style="width: 480px; height: 270px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="okplayer" width="480" height="270" src="http://youtube.com/embed/GCMU2-eirHo" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 480px; height: 270px;" name="okplayer"></iframe></div></div> Star Political Newshttps://plus.google.com/103449131057337054320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780848449723732477.post-17221326624952711812018-05-21T12:10:00.005-04:002018-05-21T12:10:19.673-04:00Dying Insects May Lead To Human Extinction Through Starvation<img src='https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3zHtx17-cYU/maxresdefault.jpg' style='max-width:586px;' /><br /><div>If global warming weren't already bad enough, it may cause a major wipeout of insects. Insects are vital to most ecosystems. A widespread collapse would cause extremely far-reaching disruption to life on Earth. Scientists say that by 2100, climate change will make almost half of insect habitats unsuitable. In the case of bees, if they don't pollinate, fruits and vegetables can't grow. https://ift.tt/2rZywPa http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com <div style="width: 480px; height: 270px; overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" seamless="seamless" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitAllowFullScreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" id="okplayer" width="480" height="270" src="http://youtube.com/embed/3zHtx17-cYU" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 480px; height: 270px;" name="okplayer"></iframe></div></div> Star Political Newshttps://plus.google.com/103449131057337054320noreply@blogger.com0
